    This document describes a remote lab simulation on waves using the PhET Waves Intro simulation. The learning goals are for students to understand wave properties, how changing frequency and amplitude affects waves, and designing experiments to measure wave speed. Students will explore water, sound and light waves and compare their representations, measuring properties like wavelength, period and speed. They will summarize their understanding of wave characteristics and behaviors.

    Waves Intro‌Remote Lab ‌

    (This‌‌lesson‌is designed ‌for‌‌a‌‌student‌‌working‌remotely‌.)‌

    This lab uses the Waves Intro simulation from PhET Interactive Simulations at University of Colorado
    Boulder, under the CC-BY 4.0 license.
    https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/waves-intro/latest/waves-intro_en.html

    Note about prior learning: Students should have completed Waves on a String Remote Lab or lessons with
    similar learning goals. 

    Learning Goals: Students will be able to:


    1. Make waves with water, sound, and light and see how they are related.
    2. Discuss wave properties using common vocabulary.
    3. Explain how changing the frequency and amplitude affects the characteristics of the wave.
    4. Design an experiment to measure the speed of the wave.

    Develop your understanding: Explore the Water screen, then explore to make water waves and ways to observe
    and measure the waves.

    Explain your understanding:


    1. Use your own words and captured images from the simulation to show you can measure:
    a. Wavelength of longest wave possible

    b. Wavelength of shortest wave possible

    c. Height of tallest wave possible

    2. Describe your experiments to make waves of different wavelengths and heights including which views
    and tools were needed and why. Support your explanation with images from the simulation.

    3.

    4. Use your own words and captured images from the simulation to show you can or cannot measure:
    a. Period of longest wave possible

    b. Period of shortest wave possible

    c. Period of tallest wave possible

    5. Describe your experiments to measure period including which views and tools were needed and why.
    Support your explanation with images from the simulation.

    6. Use your own words and captured images from the simulation to show you can or cannot measure:
    a. Speed of longest wave possible

    b. Speed of shortest wave possible

    c. Speed of tallest wave possible

    7. Describe your experiments to measure speed including which views and tools were needed and why.
    Support your explanation with images from the simulation.

    8. Summarize your understanding of wave characteristics and behaviors by comparing the longest,
    shortest, and tallest waves. Use these vocabulary words: Frequency, Amplitude, Wave Speed, and
    Wavelength.

    Develop your understanding: Open the full Waves Intro simulation, then explore to make sound and light
    waves of varying wavelengths.

    9. Compare the representations of water, sound, and light waves. Describe the similarities and differences with
    images from the simulation to support your ideas.

    10. Experiment to measure the wavelength, height, period, and speed of sound waves. How do your ideas from
    measuring water waves compare? Describe the similarities and differences with images from the simulation to
    support your ideas.

    11. Experiment to measure the wavelength, height, period, and speed of light waves. How do your ideas from
    measuring water and sound waves compare? Describe the similarities and differences with images from the
    simulation to support your ideas.

    12. Summarize key ideas that you want to remember about the relationships between water, sound and light waves.
